    NdGT is a pretentious twat who needs to just shut up and sit down.

    I swear the only time he’s relevant is when he’s bitching about some science fiction movie not being 100% accurate

      So, you’re saying he should…pound sand?

      Movie: “Y’all check out these space wizards who can pilot big space ships at FTL. Check out these giant worms that shit magic dust. Check out a Special Boy who can see the future.”

      NDT: “None of this is scientifically accurate.”

      I swear the only time he’s relevant is when he’s bitching about some science fiction movie not being 100% accurate

      Taking an ice-pick to “Contact” because it isn’t realistic, and posting it in Tyson’s DMs every day until he deletes his account.

      Eh, I’m fine with a little pedantry here and there.
